Last Summer we had a blast going to the Lake! We were there for an entire week, it was so fun and we were absolutely in Heaven! Here’s a little photo gallery to show you just a bit of what we did there.
Homemade Healthy – Honey
September 27, 2011 by
Yes, I’m definitely milking the whole Honey month thing, but as I have mentioned to you all so many times, it’s probably one of my favorite staples to keep on hand. Yes it’s great for cooking, and {as you learned last week} in beauty products, but have you ever wondered why? Ok, so maybe I’m [...]
Healthy Challenge – Tea
September 26, 2011 by
If you’ve been at all inspired by the recent homemade health and beauty recipes, then it’s likely that you’ve been left with a desire to change but few tools and little information to make that happen. Today, I want to issue a challenge. Pick the amount of time you want to spend on it, but [...]
Homemade Healthy
September 23, 2011 by
One year ago, all 6 of my sons had serious respiratory illnesses. The severity of their illnesses and duration of recovery was phenomenally challenging. Needless to say, since then my way of approaching my family’s health has changed drastically. In the midst of it all, a simple yet astounding fact hit me like a ton [...]

Yesterday I mentioned how much I love honey for cooking, but did you know that I’m really starting to get into making beauty products for myself as well? Believe it or not, it’s super simple, amazing for your skin and you know exactly what you’re putting on your body. Think about it for a minute. [...]
Honey
September 21, 2011 by
Did you know that September is national Honey month??? Yeah, I didn’t either, but I was blissfully surprised and thrilled when I not only learned about it, but was asked to interview Chef David Guas on behalf of the National Honey Board. I truly enjoy interviewing chefs, they often have fun and creative ideas. Chef [...]
Memories of School and Friends
September 20, 2011 by
With my children going back to school this year I was surprised by the random memories of days that seem to have happened lifetimes ago… when I, too was going back to school. The sights, sounds, smells, everything about this part of fall just screams back-to-school. The scent of rain on warm pavement, is the [...]
Eating Healthy 101
September 15, 2011 by
Let’s face it, some kids are naturally picky eaters. As parents we have a choice, help them become creative eaters who try a variety of foods or feed them only what they like leading to unhealthy eating habits and questionable health. Today we’re talking about how to get kids to eat healthy, and below you [...]
Back to School…In Pictures
September 7, 2011 by
Today was officially the first day of school (for all but CJ who starts tomorrow) and wow the excitement was at insane levels this morning. All of the kiddos (again, except for CJ) were up by 5am…yes, I am sure right about now you are totally wishing you were me (LOL). The ruckus was undeniably [...]
Parenting in Public
September 6, 2011 by
I recently was contacted by a subscriber and she shared her heart and a few challenges that she’s having with her kiddos. As I read her email, I felt her pain and the frustration of the part of parenting that sometimes can be so hurtful…disrespectful children. My kids aren’t perfect. We’ve had plenty of hiccups [...]
